Ingredients
Scale
Lasagna Roll-Ups
- 8 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings and Sauce
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the lasagna roll-ups.
- Cook noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a baking sheet to avoid sticking.
- Prepare filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Assemble roll-ups: Spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture evenly over each lasagna noodle, then carefully roll them up tightly from one end to the other.
- Prepare baking dish: Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Arrange roll-ups: Place the assembled roll-ups seam side down in the baking dish, arranging them snugly side by side.
- Add sauce and cheese: Pour the remaining 1 cup of marinara sauce over the roll-ups, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
- Bake covered: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to heat through and meld flavors.
- Bake uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and turns golden brown.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving warm.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken leftover from a previous meal or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- To prevent noodles from sticking together, spread them out flat immediately after boiling.
- Feel free to substitute marinara sauce with your favorite tomato sauce or a homemade option.
- Ricotta can be swapped with cottage cheese for a slightly different texture.
- For extra flavor, add red pepper flakes or fresh basil to the chicken mixture.
- Allow the roll-ups to rest for 5 minutes after baking for easier serving.
